THis looks like a better alternative to "other" protein shake starting with an S since it has lower carbs per serving.What are the other differences?

The taste with the lo-cal xylitol is incredibly delicious. Also has a great amino acid profile

Good taste and less sugar are two biggies for me, along with smoothness after mixing (with no blender). Also, a nice amount of protein - 25 grams.

This product uses stevia. It actually has a 0 gram sigar content and is so far the best protein shake I have personally ever had!

If you're avoiding the staches, then this may not pose a problem for you. It's got less than 1 gram of carbs per serving, so even though it's sourced from rice or peas, you're getting the protein component, not the starch/carbs/sugar components.

I love this stuff. Amount of sugar is much lower than most protein powders and only 8 grams of carbs / serving.For the price lowest I have found. It tastes great for me!! I don't even add any stevia to it for sweetness. Must admit that I was most concerned with finding a protein powder that tasted good with low carbs and this fits the bill.

I am unsure what you are asking, what ingredients are the sweeteners or was it sweet? I can say it's the only protein shake mixed with only water without gagging.

The dairy free version is dairy free and it specifies that in the title of the product. The non-dairy free version has whey, a dairy protein. If you want the dairy free sp complete you need to buy the one that has "dairy free" in the title. Last I knew, it was out of stock. Good luck.

Hi! I am in natural healthcare and have used these shakes off and on for several years. This product is very low in calories, fat, and sugar, making it a good option for most diabetics to supplement their diet. It does have some fake sugars, which can affect the nerves, but most things low fat have some if not more. I don't know of a direct correlation to this and prostate cancer. It is loaded with nutrients, which gives the body more "fuel" to run. I use it with almond milk instead of cow's milk because the dairy slows my system. The shake mix has cassein in it (milk protein), but that doesn't bother me. I have read some research looking at the link between dairy and cancer, but that really addresses what you choose to mix the powder with instead of the shake ingredients. As with anything, I would start slow to see how my body responds and wouldn't overdo it. I have had clients use it as supplemental nutrition, as a meal replacement, and as a protein shake while working out. Most of them seemed happy with their results.

I recently purchased Nature's Plus Spiru-tein Gold, Banana Berry Blast. I haven't even opened it yet because it is based on Chia Rice and Peas and I am prone to IBS (I'm wary of any product that is lentil based). I usually get the regular Spiru-tein high protein sans the peas, and I loved it. Anyway, according to the label on this can, even though Carbs is at 19g. under sugar it is 0. Mixed with milk it goes up to 11g of sugar. I cannot vouch for its validity, that is just what the label states. But, all in all Spiru-Tein is a wonderful product and a life saver on a busy day. I am mostly concerned with the vitamin and protein rating. Mostly, the protein rating! I recently purchased Nature's Plus Spiru-tein Gold, Banana Berry Blast.

ON whey has more protein concentration and less calories per scoop then Syntha. Where Syntha is a mixed protein blend with a little added carbs, ON is more of a pure whey isolate protein with little to no carbs. Both use sucralose but I assume they use very little because it doesn't overtake the taste or leave that typical artificial sweeteners aftertaste as when you use a packet of splenda. Taste wise Syntha is tough to beat, I like both, but I tend to grab ON when I want a lower calorie, higher quality protein and grab Syntha when I want great taste and some added carbs. Both are great choices in their own way, you'll see similar performance results as long as you're putting the work in and eating right.

It was created to meet the very strict requirements of the HCG diet, but it is just as effective with other low carb high protein diets. If you want a good balance of vitamins, minerals, low carb, high protein and fiber this is the shake for you.

Platinum Hydro Whey has more protein/serving (6g more, I believe), because it's not just purified protein, but also hydrolyzed. The hydrolyzation process breaks protein down further, which makes it easier and faster to absorb, hence making it more efficient. That being said, I can't tell the difference in results... Probably because I'm not actually an intense athlete, I just work out and I don't like feeling sore so I drink a shake. I think the general consensus, is that Hydro Whey is only really worth the extra money if you're doing some really intense working out. In terms of taste, I detect a little bit of an after taste. I prefer Gold Standard, but Hydro Whey does seem to be creamier/richer.

I just checked my bottle and it said 100% sprulina. It tastes like sprulina, no where close to protein shake. I would suggest against using it in place of typical protein shake. Do some research to decide how you want to use it.

Yes, it's carb free. A very good choice for people on a low carbohydrate diet and an excellent choice for diabetics. Have both sorts of people in my family and have dealt with both issues. This sweetener is both tasty and a safe choice.

Concentrate. Isolate is better as it removes the lactose and fat. The things(over time) i've begun to dislike about this particular protein are the higher carbs, sugar and the fact that it has fructose.

This product has more protein than Shakeology. I used the vegan Shakeology so it did not have dairy, nor does this product. The texture of Raw Fit is a bit gritty, Shakeology is smooth and I believe tasted better. I love Shakeology, the only reason I use Raw Fit instead is because I need more protein and I like not having to commit to spend $100 per month to get the best price.

I'm not sure about the regular total lean, however, the lean 25 I like because it has more protein. Not to mention the taste is better. I use it as a meal replacement, also for weight loss and occasionally after a workout. But I usually use it as a meal replacement. I have used it as total meal replacement for weeks I've been on liquid diet and done very well on it because the protein keeps me leveled out. Also, if you call a GNC store they are very patient and helpful with questions I've had. Hope this helps. :)

It not the same but its close. You can definitely tell its a protein shake. I throw a scoop in with my green shakes. That includes kale, spinach, 1/2 banana and Almond milk. I only have it with water if I'm rushing and can't make a smoothie.
